| Very firm, with ripe plum and currant notes coming through its chewy texture, finishing with woodsy, bitter chocolate overtones. | |||||
| Clive Coates | |||||
| Elements of chocolate mousse, blackberry, red fruits and cedar. Rich and complex. This is a very fine, mature claret. Full and vigorous. Rich, even meaty, rather more structured than later vintages would suggest. Lots of ripe fruit, well balanced with acidity on the palate. Long, complex, concentrated: quite powerful and aristocratic on the attack. | |||||

| Deepest, darkest and bestwine of the flight. Ripe, earthy, hind of truffles on nose. Surprisingly deep, ripe, rich and long. A lovely mouthful of ripe, fully mature wine. Hint of leather. The biggest, richest, best 1970 Haut Brion I have tasted to date. | |||||

| "The 1970 is an old style Lynch Bages with plenty of dry tannin in the finish. Compellingly aromatic, it offers aromas of cedar wood, spice box, tobacco, earth, black currants, and new saddle leather.

| Robert Parker 96 | |||||
| One of Vega Sicilia's distinctive practices is to release magnums of great vintages well after the wine's initial release. Magnums of the fabulous 1970 Unico Reserva Especial have just been released. This wine boasts an elegant, complex bouquet of cedar wood, blackberries, cherry liqueur, and vanilla. Opulently-textured, with fabulous unctuosity, vivaciousness, and vigor, superb ripeness, a full-bodied, super-concentrated attack as well as lush mid-palate and finish, this seamless classic can be drunk now, or cellared for two decades. This wine was brilliant from the 750 ml format, and is equally compelling from magnum. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 92 | |||||
| "A silky, seamless package of pleasure. Surprisingly dark color, then mature aromas of spice and cherry, with an elegant, soft palate impression that holds coffee, raisin and cherry flavors. It's balanced and long, with a slightly volatile character." | |||||
| Serena Sutcliffe | |||||
| Superb aromatic bouquet. So sweet and seductive. So round and complete thatit is 'spheric'! Totally aromatic. A giant of a wine. A recent magnum had a nose of blackberries in liqueur and a taste of wine gums and liquorice-glorious rich glycerol all the way. | |||||
| Hedonist's Gazette 97 | |||||
| "A brilliant effort from Spain is the monumental 1970 Vega Sicilia Unico. Along with the 1982 Latour, it was the finest red wine of the day. Gorgeously sweet cassis and black cherry notes intertwined with hints of oak, earth, and spice box are found in this full-bodied, incredibly fresh, vibrant, super-concentrated wine." R.

| Medium colour. Poerful youthful nose. Not yet luscious; very concentrated but youtful. Full, more luscious on the palate than the nose would indicate. Very concentrated. Still amazingly young. An exceptional wine, even better than the 1975. The Yquem of the 1970s. | |||||

| Still backward, although the color is beginning to exhibit amber/rust at the edge, this large-scaled, muscular, charmless Montrose is structured enough to be admired, but I wonder if there is enough fruit to hold for another 10 years? Full-bodied, with earthy, dusty, red and black fruit aromas, this tannic, behemoth needs another 2-3 years of cellaring. The jury is still out on this one. | |||||
| Clive Coates 17.5.20 | |||||
| Very good colour. Barely mature. Rich and full but a bit inky on the nose. Better on the palate. Good grip. Medium-full-body. Some tannins and astringency but not unduly so. This is better than the Cos d'Estournel for once. Nice chocolate and caramel aspects. Long and positive. Very good indeed. | |||||

| Robert Parker 98 | |||||
| The 1975 Petrus reveals a youthful, rustic, brutally powerful style, with an opaque garnet/ruby/purple color, and an emerging nose of over-ripe black-cherries, mocha/chocolate, and truffles. Extremely full-bodied, ferociously tannic, but awesomely concentrated, the 1975 Petrus can be drunk, provided readers have a penchant for slightly uncivilized wines. This behemoth Petrus (the last made in this style) is at least a decade away from full maturity. It is potentially a 50 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series I of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| "Racy and exciting, one of the best '75s. Rather tough like other of the vintage, but there is still plenty of lovely bitter chocolate, tobacco and berry aromas and flavors. Very rich but still closed." | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 95 | |||||
| Full amber-edged medium red. Knockout decadent nose combines roast coffee, mocha, chocolate, iron, truffle and smoke, along with a leesy nuance that reminded me of a great old Champagne. Hugely sweet and thick with extract, but with great steely grip and huge tannic clout. A classic, somewhat tough, old-style Petrus that should drink well for another 20 years. Perhaps a tad sweeter than the '75 Lafleur. But neither wine is for the fainthearted. | |||||

| Serena Sutcliffe | |||||
| This is a wine to be reckoned with, with more Cabernet and less Merlot than usual, allied to the power of the year. It has complex fruit and imposing aromatic weight which carry it over the tannins. Sometimes those tannins have been dry, as so often at this epoch, but nearly always the extract in the wine carries it through. It will evolve further in grand style. | |||||
| Robert Parker 88-90 | |||||
| "…This is still an excellent claret, with classic, cedary, curranty fruit, combined with herbs and spices. Medium bodied, with some sweetness on the attack, the wine narrows out and tastes more compressed and compact after it sits in the glass for 5-10 minutes. I would opt for drinking it over the next 5-6 years. At a tasting in Spring 1998, the wine performed exquisitely, making me think that well-stored bottles of this vintage may be undervalued. | |||||

| "The 1975 may turn out to be the greatest of the modern-day Yquems. It is awesomely concentrated, has perfect balance, and displays the telltale Yquem aromas of vanillin oak, tropical fruit, pineapples, honeyed peaches, and grilled almonds. There is exceptionally crisp acidity that pulls all of the massive extract into precise focus. This is a wine of astonishing power and finesse, with a finish that must be tasted to be believed." | |||||
| Michael Broadbent 4*+ | |||||
| Wine Spectator 97 | |||||

| The 1976 Haut-Brion is medium ruby in color, with some amber creeping in at the edges. The wine has been fully mature since the early eighties, yet it is still drinking well. A spicy, earthy, oaky, moderately fruity bouquet offers elegance. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, medium bodied, and charming. It even seems to have put on some weight in the late eighties. However, do not push your luck; drink it over the next 4-5 years. | |||||

| The 1977 Fonseca is slightly lighter in color and shows some ambering on the rim of the glass. Lilies, cherries, coffee, mocha, and green flower notes can be discerned in its penetrating aromatics. Softly textured, this wine's mouth-feel is exciting yet not as enthralling as the 1983's. Its warm personality is interspersed with toasted walnuts, cassis, and plummy blackberries. Its super-long, sweet finish is harmonious and flavorful. | |||||

| Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port.

Their tawnys are quite good rather than exceptional, but their vintage ports are truly sublime and sumptuous. | |||||

| This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. Their tawnys are also among the very best, though somewhat expensive. The 1977 has consistently been at the top of my list of vintage ports in this great vintage, although the Dow, Graham, and Fonseca are equally splendid. It is a mammoth, opaque, statuesque vintage port of remarkable depth and power, but is should not be touched before 2000. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 97 | |||||
| Good ruby color still. The nose is fresh, with lots of crushed berry and plum, with a hint of piecrust. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a caressing texture. This delivers loads of complex fruit and spiciness. Medium-sweet. A beauty. Will improve for decades, but why wait? '77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective. Jim Suckling | |||||

| More and more the 1978 Lafleur is looking like one of the two or three finest wines of the vintage, along with La Mission-Haut-Brion and Latour. This dark plum/garnet-colored wine exhibits a knock-out nose of black cherry fruit intermixed with licorice, minerals, cedar, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with powerful tannin remaining, this highly extracted wine is atypical for the 1978 vintage. It is a weighty, broad-shouldered, muscular, virile 1978 that is just beginning to reveal secondary nuances and complexity. I have always thought this wine could develop along the lines of the 1966, and I am more convinced than ever that it is the seventies clone of that vintage | |||||

| "A once perfect wine, the 1978 Rayas is finally beginning to lose its thick, juicy, succulent personality, and drop some of its hugely concentrated jammy blackraspberry/kirsch/cherry fruit. A dark garnet color with an amber edge, is followed by a still stunning, exotic bouquet consisting of Asian spices, jammy black fruits, garrigue, smoked meats, and pepper. However, in the three separate tastings I noted that the wine is losing its sweetness, and just beginning to reveal acidity and a tannic bitterness in the finish. At its finest, this was a perfect wine that admirably demonstrated the excitement Rayas can produce. Owners should consume it quickly." 94 pts. R. Parker | |||||
